Did You Know...
- Boys aged between 14-17 are the most frequent users of pornographic materials in Australia
- Pornography has greatly affected the use of “sexting,” causing 51% of young girls between the ages of 15-19 to feel social pressure to share naked selfies online.
- Pornography normalises sexual violence and provides unrealistic understandings of sex and sexuality
- Research shows that having honest and open discussions with a parent or trusted adult (i.e school teacher, mentor, relative) benefits an adolescent and provides a positive perspective on their bodies and helps them to be aware of normal sexual behaviours.
